Notes

Same Georgia redeemable tax-deed framework as Fulton. Gwinnett Tax Commissioner holds sales on selected first Tuesdays (not every month). Auction to highest bidder who can pay that day; opening bid = taxes + costs. Tax deed recorded by Tax Commissioner. Purchaser must pay subsequent taxes as they come due. ~12-month owner redemption; then barment action to firm title.
